Dental crowns are dental restorations that completely cover or enclose the tooth or dental implant. They are used to restore the shape, size, color and function of damaged or weakened teeth. Here are some key aspects about dental crowns:
Purpose:
Dental Restoration: Dental crowns are used to protect and strengthen teeth weakened due to extensive cavities, fractures, severe wear, or after root canal treatment.
Aesthetic improvement: They are also used for aesthetic purposes to improve the appearance of discolored, poorly formed or poorly aligned teeth.
Materials:
Ceramic: Commonly used for crowns on visible teeth due to its ability to mimic the natural appearance of teeth.
Metal: They can be made of metal alloys, such as gold or silver. Metal crowns are durable and are often used on molars where strength is crucial.
Porcelain on metal: Combines the aesthetics of ceramics with the resistance of metal.
Placement Process:
Tooth preparation: Before the crown is placed, the tooth is prepared by grinding it to create space for the crown.
Impression: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to ensure an accurate fit of the crown.
Temporary placement: While the permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
Care and maintenance:
Good oral hygiene: Regular brushing and flossing is essential to maintain the health of the crown and surrounding teeth.
Avoid chewing on hard objects: To avoid damage to the crown, it is recommended to avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools.
Duration:
How long a dental crown lasts depends on several factors, such as oral care, overall oral health, and the material used.
A well-maintained wreath is generally expected to last for many years.
It is important to mention that the specific process and materials may vary depending on the clinical situation and patient preferences. If you are considering a dental crown, I would recommend speaking with your dentist to get more specific information about your particular case.
